Dec 5: Krampusnacht: Photos with Krampus

Strange Fellows Brewing, Vancouver, BC; 18:00–20:00

December brings excitement for many children around the world as they eagerly await a visit from St. Nicholas. In some European alpine villages, this anticipation is tainted with fear, as there St. Nick is accompanied by the frightful Krampus. While St. Nick brings gifts for the nice children, Krampus – with his horns, cloven hooves and long devilish tongue – comes for the naughty. Instead of bringing treats, Krampus whips the naughty children with a switch, and takes the very bad away in his sack.

In the spirit of St. Nick, we will reward the nice with a delicious seasonal beer, while the naughty will have to answer to Krampus. On Tuesday, December 5th, Krampus will visit Strange Fellows Brewing from 6-8pm. Instead of photos with Santa this year, come by with friends and family* for photos with Krampus, and perhaps a glass of beer brewed in honour of the beast himself.

Our Brewmaster, Daniel Murphy, set out a vision to push ourselves and broaden the scope of our beer offerings, embrace new techniques, and deliver beer of only the best flavour and quality.

We’re also unveiling our new labels, which were inspired by the geometric decoration of traditional canoe paddles. This references not only our brewpub’s namesake, but our local cultural ties to the cabin & camping lifestyle and adventure.

We can’t wait to share it with you.

The party continues with our regular live music program, featuring The Leg-Up Program (@ 9:30pm-late, no cover)
